Substrate Specifications (Substrate recommended for operation of LV8734V)
Size
: 90mm × 90mm × 1.6mm (two-layer substrate [2S0P])
Material
: Glass epoxy
Copper wiring density : L1 = 85% / L2 = 90%
L1 : Copper wiring pattern diagram
L2 : Copper wiring pattern diagram
Cautions
1) The data for the case with the Exposed Die-Pad substrate mounted shows the values when 90% or more of the
Exposed Die-Pad is wet.
2) For the set design, employ the derating design with sufficient margin.
Stresses to be derated include the voltage, current, junction temperature, power loss, and mechanical stresses such as
vibration, impact, and tension.
Accordingly, the design must ensure these stresses to be as low or small as possible.
The guideline for ordinary derating is shown below :
(1)Maximum value 80% or less for the voltage rating
(2)Maximum value 80% or less for the current rating
(3)Maximum value 80% or less for the temperature rating
3) After the set design, be sure to verify the design with the actual product.
Confirm the solder joint state and verify also the reliability of solder joint for the Exposed Die-Pad, etc.
Any void or deterioration, if observed in the solder joint of these parts, causes deteriorated thermal conduction,
possibly resulting in thermal destruction of IC.

Description of operation
Input Pin Function
The function to prevent including the turn from the input to the power supply is built into each input pin.
Therefore, the current turns to the power supply even if power supply (VM) is turned off with the voltage impressed to
the input pin and there is not crowding.
1. Chip enable function
This IC is switched between standby and operating mode by setting the ST pin. In standby mode, the IC is set to
power-save mode and all logic is reset. In addition, the internal regulator circuit and charge pump circuit do not
operate in standby mode.

2. Drive mode switching pin function
The IC drive mode is switched by setting the DM pin. In STM mode, stepping motor channel 1 can be controlled by
the CLK-IN input. In DCM mode, DC motor channel 2 or stepping motor channel 1 can be controlled by parallel
input. Stepping motor control using parallel input is 2-phase or 1-2 phase full torque.

This is the initial position of each excitation mode in the initial state after power-on and when the counter is reset.
3. Position detection monitoring function
The MONI position detection monitoring pin is of an open drian type.
When the excitation position is in the initial position, the MONI output is placed in the ON state.
(Refer to "Examples of current waveforms in each of the excitation modes.")
No.A1824-10/26
LV8734V
4. Setting constant-current control reference current
This IC is designed to automatically exercise PWM constant-current chopping control for the motor current by setting
the output current. Based on the voltage input to the VREF pin and the resistance connected between RF and GND,
the output current that is subject to the constant-current control is set using the calculation formula below :
IOUT = (VREF/5)/RF resistance
* The above setting is the output current at 100% of each excitation mode.
The voltage input to the VREF pin can be switched to four-step settings depending on the statuses of the two inputs,
ATT1 and ATT2. This is effective for reducing power consumption when motor holding current is supplied.

The formula used to calculate the output current when using the function for attenuating the VREF input voltage is
given below.
IOUT = (VREF/5) × (attenuation ratio)/RF resistance
Example : At VREF of 1.5V, a reference voltage setting of 100% [(ATT1, ATT2) = (L, L)] and an RF resistance of
0.5Ω, the output current is set as shown below.
IOUT = 1.5V/5 × 100%/0.5Ω = 0.6A
If, in this state, (ATT1, ATT2) is set to (H, H), IOUT will be as follows :
IOUT = 0.6A × 20% = 120mA
In this way, the output current is attenuated when the motor holding current is supplied so that power can
be conserved.

6. Blanking time
If, when exercising PWM constant-current chopping control over the motor current, the mode is switched from decay
to charge, the recovery current of the parasitic diode may flow to the current sensing resistance, causing noise to be
carried on the current sensing resistance pin, and this may result in erroneous detection. To prevent this erroneous
detection, a blanking time is provided to prevent the noise occurring during mode switching from being received.
During this time, the mode is not switched from charge to decay even if noise is carried on the current sensing
resistance pin.
In the stepping motor driver mode (DM = Low or Open) of this IC, the blanking time is fixed at approximately 1μs.
In the DC motor driver mode (DM = High), the blanking time can be switched to one of two levels using the
RST/BLK pin. (Refer to "Blanking time switching function.")

Output is high-impedance
When the OE pin is set High, the output is forced OFF and goes to high impedance.
However, the internal logic circuits are operating, so the excitation position proceeds when the STEP signal is input.
Therefore, when OE is returned to Low, the output level conforms to the excitation position proceeded by the STEP
input.

The internal D/A converter proceeds by one bit at the rising edge of the input STEP pulse.
In addition, CW and CCW mode are switched by setting the FR pin.
In CW mode, the channel 2 current phase is delayed by 90° relative to the channel 1 current.
In CCW mode, the channel 2 current phase is advanced by 90° relative to the channel 1 current.
10. Chopping frequency setting
For constant-current control, this IC performs chopping operations at the frequency determined by the capacitor
(Cchop) connected between the CHOP pin and GND.
The chopping frequency is set as shown below by the capacitor (Cchop) connected between the CHOP pin and GND.
Fchop = Ichop/ (Cchop × Vtchop × 2) (Hz)
Ichop : Capacitor charge/discharge current, typ 10μA
Vtchop : Charge/discharge hysteresis voltage (Vtup-Vtdown), typ 0.5V
For instance, when Cchop is 200pF, the chopping frequency will be as follows :
Fchop = 10μA/ (200pF × 0.5V × 2) = 50kHz

In each current mode, the operation sequence is as described below :
• At rise of chopping frequency, the CHARGE mode begins. (In the time defined as the “blanking time,” the CHARGE
mode is forced regardless of the magnitude of the coil current (ICOIL) and set current (IREF).)
• The coil current (ICOIL) and set current (IREF) are compared in this blanking time.
When (ICOIL < IREF) state exists ;
The CHARGE mode up to ICOIL ≥ IREF, then followed by changeover to the SLOW DECAY mode, and
finally by the FAST DECAY mode for approximately 1μs.
When (ICOIL < IREF) state does not exist ;
The FAST DECAY mode begins. The coil current is attenuated in the FAST DECAY mode till one cycle of
chopping is over.
Above operations are repeated. Normally, the SLOW (+FAST) DECAY mode continues in the sine wave increasing
direction, then entering the FAST DECAY mode till the current is attenuated to the set level and followed by the SLOW
DECAY mode.

The limit current is set as calculated on the basis of the voltage input to the VREF pin and the resistance between the
RF pin and GND using the formula given below.
Ilimit = (VREF/5) /RF resistance
The voltage applied to the VREF pin can be switched to any of the four setting levels depending on the statuses of the

The formula used to calculate the output current when using the function for attenuating the VREF input voltage is

Example : At VREF of 1.5V, a reference voltage setting of 100% [(ATT1, ATT2) = (L, L)] and an RF resistance of
0.5Ω, the output current is set as shown below.
Ilimit = 1.5V/5 × 100%/0.5Ω = 0.6A
If, in this state, (ATT1, ATT2) has been set to (H, H), Ilimit will be as follows :
Ilimit = 0.6A × 20% = 120mA

4. Current LIMIT mask function
(Only the DCM mode. At STM mode OE pin : It operates as output enable function. Refer to (output enable function))
The mask can do current LIMIT function during the fixed time set with the CMK pin at the DCM mode. It is effective
to make it not hang to the limiter by the start current of the motor to set current LIMIT low.
The charge is begun, current LIMIT function is done to the CMK capacitor meanwhile when switching to forward/
reverse mode, and the mask is done. Afterwards, the mask is released when the voltage of the CMK pin reaches set
voltage (typ 1.5V), and the current limit function works.
When 2ch side begins forward (reverse) operation while the mask on 1ch side is operating, the CMK pin is discharged
one degree up to a constant voltage, and begins charging again because the CMK pin becomes 2ch using combinedly.
Meanwhile, 1ch side and 2ch side enter the state of the mask.

Output short-circuit protection function
This IC incorporates an output short-circuit protection circuit that, when the output has been shorted by an event such
as shorting to power or shorting to ground, sets the output to the standby mode and turns on the warning output in
order to prevent the IC from being damaged. In the stepping motor driver (STM) mode (DM = Low), this function
sets the output to the standby mode for both channels by detecting the short-circuiting in one of the channels. In the
DC motor driver mode (DM = High), channels 1 and 2 operate independently. (Even if the output of channel 1 has
been short-circuited, channel 2 will operate normally.)
1. Output short-circuit protection operation changeover function
Changeover to the output short-circuit protection of IC is made by the setting of EMM pin.

2. Latch type
In the latch mode, when the output current exceeds the detection current level, the output is turned OFF, and this state
is held.
The detection of the output short-circuited state by the IC causes the output short-circuit protection circuit to be
activated.
When the short-circuited state continues for the time of time set using the internal timer (approximately 2μs), the
output in which the short-circuiting has been detected is first set to OFF. After this, the output is set to ON again as
soon as the timer latch time (Tcem) described later has been exceeded, and if the short-circuited state is still detected,
all the outputs of the channel concerned are switched to the standby mode, and this state is held.
This state is released by setting ST to low.

3. Auto reset type
In the automatic reset mode, when the output current exceeds the detection current level, the output waveform
changes to the switching waveform.
As with the latch system, when the output short-circuited state is detected, the short-circuit protection circuit is
activated. When the operation of the short-circuit detection circuit exceeds the timer latch time (Tcem) described later,
the output is changed over to the standby mode and is reset to the ON mode again in 2ms (typ). In this event, if the
overcurrent mode still continues, the switching mode described above is repeated until the overcurrent mode is
canceled.
4. Unusual condition warning output pins (EMO, MONI)
The LV8731V is provided with the EMO pin which notifies the CPU of an unusual condition if the protection circuit
operates by detecting an unusual condition of the IC. This pin is of the open-drain output type and when an unusual
condition is detected, the EMO output is placed in the ON (EMO = Low) state.
In the DC motor driver mode (DM = High), the MONI pin also functions as a warning output pin.
The functions of the EMO pin and MONI pin change as shown below depending on the state of the DM pin.
When the DM is low (STM mode) :
EMO : Unusual condition warning output pin
MONI : Excitation initial position detection monitoring
When the DM is high (DCM) mode) :
EMO : Channel 1 warning output pin
MONI : Channel 2 warning output pin
Furthermore, the EMO (MONI) pin is placed in the ON state when one of the following conditions occurs.
1. Shorting-to-power, shorting-to-ground, or shorting-to-load occurs at the output pin and the output short-circuit
protection circuit is activated.
2. The IC junction temperature rises and the thermal protection circuit is activated.

5. Timer latch time (Tcem)
The time taken for the output to be set to OFF when the output has been short-circuited can be set using capacitor
Ccem, connected between the CEM pin and GND. The value of capacitor Ccem is determined by the formula given
below.
Timer latch : Tcem
Tcem ≈ Ccem × Vtcem/Icem [sec]
Vtcem : Comparator threshold voltage, typ 1V
Icem : CEM pin charge current, typ 10μA
Overheating protection function
The overheating protection circuit is built into, and the output is turned off when junction temperature Tj exceeds
180°C, and the abnormal state warning output is turned on at the same time. The value of hysteresis and when it falls,
the temperature drives the output again (automatic restoration).
The overheating protection circuit doesn't secure protection and the destruction prevention of the set because it
becomes operation by the area where ratings Tjmax=150°C of the junction temperature was exceeded.
TSD = 180°C (typ)
ΔTSD = 40°C (typ)

Charge Pump Circuit
When the ST pin is set High, the charge pump circuit operates and the VG pin voltage is boosted from the VM voltage
to the VM + VREG5 voltage. Because the output is not turned on if VM+4V or more is not pressured, the voltage of
the VG pin recommends the drive of the motor to put the time of tONG or more, and to begin.
